Description

Craigiebank Parish Church, built in 1937 to a design by Frank Thomson, is a Scottish Romanesque style church with a rectangular-plan church hall attached. The church is constructed of harled brick with decorative dressings in moulded and lined reconstituted stone, and has a red tile roof. The windows are round-headed, with long and short dressings, small leaded panes, a moulded wallhead course with corbel stones at the gables and coped skews.

The south elevation features a three-stage entrance tower. The main doorway has a segmental arch with a consecration-style cross in the tympanum, set beneath a moulded and dentilled round-headed arch with scalloped capital nook shafts. Small rectangular openings are present on the tower's return elevations, with a band course of similar openings at the second stage and a moulded band at the third. The main gable has windows flanking the tower, with a datestone at the right buttress.

The west elevation has an off-centre advanced transept gable with a tripartite window and small aperture at the gable. Buttresses are present at the right return elevation and flank the windows at gallery level. Two windows are on the left return elevation; a porch is situated at the left re-entrant angle with a two-leaf door under a segmental arch, and a window is positioned on the left return of the nave. A lower chancel bay is recessed on the far left, with a lean-to at ground floor level and a window above. The church hall adjoins the building on the outer left, with windows to the right of the transept, and three buttresses.

The east elevation is similar to the west elevation, with an organ chamber on the right re-entrant side of the transept.

The interior retains its original layout, with the exception of the communion table which has been brought forward. The interior features reconstituted stone columns to the arcaded aisles and dressings matching the exterior. A cill course, wallhead course and round-headed arches with scalloped capitals are also present. A tripartite reredos incorporates nook shafts. The windows contain mottled pale yellow leaded glass, although some panes have been replaced with clear glass. A three-manual organ by Frederwick Rothwell and Sons, Harrow, Middlesex, is housed in a grained case, reputedly from a bombed London church.

The church hall is axially adjoined to the north gable of the main church. The east gable includes a two-leaf door with a segmental arch and consecration-style cross in the tympanum, beneath a moulded round-headed arch, flanked by single windows, and a smaller window at the gable. The north elevation features a modern addition at centre, single and paired windows to the left, and single windows to the right. The west gable has three windows on the ground floor and an oculus at the gable.
